today, monday, september 11th, 2023, hunting a killer. 12 days after escaping, a convicted murderer in pennsylvania is nowhere to be found. the new steps police are taking right now after new video reveals a dramatic change. time running out, crews are working around the clock after the catastrophic earthquake in morocco. more than 2,600 people are dead, thousands more are hurt. we're tracking the rescue efforts on the ground right now. sick burn, you know that cold medication you might take whenever you're stuffed up. why some doctors think one of the main ingredients may not really work at all. and hello sunshine, i sat down exclusively with the one and only actor extraordinary reese witherspoon, and we're talking everything from show biz to the clothing biz. >> i can't wait to see that interview. >> it was so fun. >> we're going to begin with that urgent manhunt for an escaped prisoner in pennsylvania. >> the search for that killer is now entering its 12th day.
12:02 pm
there were significant developments over the weekend when police released these pictures. they show danelo cavalcante with a totally different appearance. you can see him even clean shaven wearing a green hoodie. >> authorities have also released pictures of this van, they say cavalcante stole it are from a local dairy farm. that location all the way up on the top left of your screen. in the center you can see the original search areas quite a distance away. >> nbc news correspondent marissa parra joins us from outside the search command center. we just got that update from police on the search. what did they say? >> reporter: yeah, i think the biggest headlines here, he has not been found, but they do believe he is still in pennsylvania. we asked why, and he said because we don't have reason to believe he's not, so what they talked was a couple of things. one, they're changing their tactics. we know that on saturday, we've talked about this extensively, they had about a four-mile perimeter search and what they were doing was they had that perimeter, they had that sort of
12:03 pm
boundary, if you will. they were calling it a push. they were trying to push in. now they're saying they're not doing that same sort of thing, but they do have, quote, heavy police presence, law enforcement presence in the township and northern chester county, which for reference that is nearby where that van was found abandoned and stolen. zinhle and kate, as they continue their search, one of the many things we've learned is they have upped their reward money to 25,000. >> $25,000, okay. we've also learned that cavalcante showed up at the homes of two former co-workers over the weekend, right? do police think that he's presently getting any help? >> yes. >> reporter: that's a great question. that is the question we have all had, what they have said is they can't confirm he is getting help but they are monitoring the situation. i think they have people of interest that they're keeping tabs on, but we do know that he rang the door bell of two people that he had worked with in the past. they were old associates. you're seeing photos from that
12:04 pm
ring doorbell video, and we actually learned something interesting in this press conference, just about 20 minutes ago we learned that there was a conversation had over the ring doorbell camera video. he wouldn't tell us the exact words. we did learn in the press conference that there was a sense of urgency, and he describes it as desperation, and also a sense of friendliness, but you could tell that they hadn't talked in a while. so the press conference really stressed a warning, which is if anyone is caught helping cavalcante, they will be prosecuted, in addition to cavalcante himself, they're saying they're really stressing that warning there. you have questions on how did he get these new clothes? did he take those new clothes? did he take a razor to give himself a fresh shave or was he given that. a lot of warnings in addition to asking people to lock not just their homes but their cars. that van you talked about, the stolen dairy farm van, they had the keys inside.
12:05 pm
this is a rural area. people are being warned to lock everything and lock the buildings, lock your barns, because this is a man who is desperate to get help. they say likely desperate to seek another car to aid him in getting further, so lock everything down, don't make this easier for him as they continue to search for him. >> so critical to stay vigilant, marissa parra, thank you so much. >> the window to find survivors is unfortunately rapidly shrinking. moroccan authorities say more than 2,600 people have died as the death toll keeps rising. we are approaching 72 hours since the quake hit, and again, we are nearing the end of the typical window for finding survivors. nbc news foreign correspondent matt bradley is in marrakesh, morocco for us. you were in the atlas mountains earlier today, what did you see there? >> reporter: we were in a village where we're not seeing a race for survivors. people in this small village,
12:06 pm
they were about 90 to 100 people have been killed in this earthquake, and the folks there seemed resigned to the fact that everybody else who was under the rubble, if there was anybody under the rubble had died. it was a very sad scene, for the most part they said that everybody had been accounted for. the village was so small that they were able to do that kind of accounting and just decide that basically there were survivors and there were the dead. and in fact, the last dead had been buried only about an hour before we arrived. we did not see much in the way of government presence. the aid that we saw in various villages we visited was mostly according to the villagers from civil society groups. that's been a cause of some level of anger here, that the government has been largely absent, even though just yesterday we heard the first public statement by a member of the government defending their response, but there's a lot of questions. why are some countries who had offered a lot of support not being taken up by the moroccan government. they have left out france and
12:07 pm
turkey, even though turkey is a country with vast experience in earthquake relief, having suffered one just last february. a lot of folks are wondering where is the government. civil society is helping, a lot of the survival, a lot of the efforts to help people, to, you know, keep people fed, to build tents, this is essentially survival diy. they're doing it on their own. and it's all volunteers and villagers helping fellow villagers. it's a big problem when the government just doesn't seem to be there, a lot of that, though, guys is because these areas are so remote. >> yeah, i can imagine, and matt, as you're saying all of that, i'm thinking of people watching here in the u.s. and wondering if they can do anything. is there any specific help that they need over there that maybe organizations we could donate to would help with? >> when i go to these sorts of disasters, and i was covering the one in turkey in february, there's always this impulse, especially from people abroad to
12:08 pm
try to help. and obviously that's a wonderful thing. a lot of the clothing donations and things like that, they will probably never reach these places. a lot of these places, even the aid donated from here in morocco doesn't necessarily get to these locations because, as i mentioned, it's so difficult to reach these remote areas. for those in america who would like to help, i think probably donating money rather than clothing or any equipment is the best way to do it, but there is a presence of the world health organization and the red cross and some international organizations. but again, it's been baffling to a lot of people, why a lot of this aid has either just not been accepted or almost refused. the government has said they're trying to figure out coordination. it is a little bit strange that some of this just doesn't seem to be reaching the people who need it most. >> matt bradley, we're glad you're there for us. thank you so much. hurricane lee is brewing in the atlantic ocean and making its way northeast. the storm is currently classified as a category 3 hurng. it's models show lee's landfall
12:09 pm
largely missing the united states. the impacts may still be felt down the east coast. bill karins is tracking this storm for us. what's the latest on where lee could hit? >> the biggest message is it doesn't look like this is going to be heading out to sea and doing us all a favor and not hitting anyone. that's what we wished. that's what we hoped all along. we knew it would stay north of puerto rico, and has this weekend and into today. we were worried about bermuda. now it looks like the path should skirt just inside of bermuda here. they could get some tropical storm conditions. they could deal with that, probably just one day of squally type weather. after this, no matter what, east coast, large waves, rip currents. the tides are going to be exceptionally high. that's going to happen no matter what. we were hoping at this point it would take the right-hand turn and miss the canadian maritimes and also portions of new england. notice the hurricane center with our 11:00 a.m. update as a category 1. it may be transitioning to an extra tropical storm or a
12:10 pm
nor'easter type storm. regardless, big winds and heavy rains heading to the north of it. now nantucket has made it into cone, and with a new update coming up at 5:00, we're going to have to extend that cone probably to nova scotia, possibly boston and definitely cape cod. the forecast error is about 200 miles. even though this is the center position now, it could be as far here which all of a sudden you're looking at a lot of population impacts, or to the right which would be great because then maybe it would turn out to sea. all of our computer models are showing it heading towards nova scotia or possibly down east maine. you can see this is out through 2:00 p.m. sunday, this upcoming weekend with a lot of our models right through areas near yarmuth. a couple making the hook towards halifax. a couple of our models are into the gulf of maine here. the bottom line is if you're in maine, cape cod, the island or nova scotia, make sure you have all your hurricane supplies in
12:11 pm
case you could lose power. the biggest threat for this area is trees. it's heavily forged in even a low end category 1 hurricane will cause significant damage. >> important people heed those warnings. thank you so much. it's time for today's cnbc's money minute. disney is selling a special collection of movies. >> the united autoworkers president said the union is prepared to negotiate around the clock with the auto companies to reach a contract deal and avoid a potential strike of 146,000 workers. it's planning to make a new counter offer after receiving the union's revised offer on sunday. general motors made the new offer to union workers over the weekend. and instacart announced it's looking for up to $9.3 billion valuation in its initial public offering. the company said it's aiming to raise up to $616 million in new
12:12 pm
capital alongside some existing shareholders. the offer price is expected to fall to between 26 and $28. and finally, disney is releasing a 100 film blu-ray collection, which will include movies of the company's entire history. you've got snow white, which came out back in 1937 to this year's elemental. preorders start next week and the verge reports the set will cost around $1,500. back to you guys. >> the classics never get old. >> but $1,500 did you say? >> maybe for that. >> right? >> that's a little steep. you're getting the whole catalog, i get it, but. >> fair point. thank you. inching closer, the u.s. explorer trapped deep inside a turkish cave could be rescued within hours, what we're learning about the life saving mission. remembering 9/11 today, it has been 22 years since the worth terrorist attack on american soil.

12:16 pm
gone and a field in shanksville, pennsylvania. solemn remembrances were held at all of those places, and also beyond to alaska and other states. nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard joins us now. vaughn, can you take us through today's ceremony where you are in lower manhattan and some of the others? >> reporter: memorial services at each of those three locations, kate, here in new york city 2753 passed away killed here in new york city with the collapse of the trade centers. this morning you saw vice president kamala harris attend the 9/11 memorial service along with florida governor ron desantis, they were joined by new york governor kathy hochul as well as new york city mayor eric adams, and former mayors, michael bloomberg and rudy giuliani as well. at the pentagon, defense secretary lloyd austin was joined by the joint chiefs of staff chairman, mark milley to take part in the memorial service there. 125 people inside were

12:18 pm
who identified here in new york city. just this week two individuals, a man and a woman whose names have not been publicly released out of respect for the family were identified. so this is a progress that continues to be made as dna research develops and the new york city chief medical examiner's office is able to bring some closure for these families here in the city. >> vaughn hillyard, thank you. rescuers in turkey are making slow but steady progress in their mission to save an american scientist trapped underground. mark dickey began suffering from internal e bleeding nine days ago leaving him unable to get back to the surface without assistance the rescuers are now slowly carrying him up over 3,000 feet on a stretcher. nbc news foreign correspondent molly hunter is following this story for us. molly, of course every single moment in a situation like this matters. have rescuers made good progress, and what happens now? >> reporter: yeah, zinhle we
12:19 pm
have some optimism this afternoon. we actually have an update from the emergency and disaster management authority on the ground there who now tell us they estimate that mark dickey may be rescued tonight, maybe as early as between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. eastern. that is totally an estimate. we don't know exactly what factors they are basing that on. i want to show you some new video. it shows him as you just mentioned on a stretcher. he is wrapped up on that stretcher completely cocooned. they call that patient packaging, so that they can move this stretcher on the pulley system up and down around rocks through very tight passages, and he won't slide off. we've also been told that these last 600 feet -- and we're told that it's just under 600 feet until the surface, we are counting moment by moment but also feet by feet, is actually a more gradual incline than some of the earlier parts of the cave, which were really kind of vertical, very tight passageways. rescuers are experts at this. they're using small explosives and hammers to make the pathway for that stretcher to get out,

the red cross says continuous months like climate disasters like flooding and hurricanes have made it harder for them to collect donations. new mexico's governor has issued a 30-day order suspending the right to carry guns in and around albuquerque. governor michelle grisham issued the order after a spike in gun violence in the state. violators can face civil penalties and fines of up to $5,000. the sheriff in the county surrounding albuquerque said today he will not enforce the governor's order. after a two-month pause, one of the most active volcanos in the world began erupting sunday in hawaii. the kilauea volcano a safe distance away from people and buildings but will still impact people who live nearby. the hawaii volcano observatory says the eruption will cause smog downwind of kilauea. experts say people living near the park should avoid the volcanic particles in the air. in today's daily health, an fda panel is reassessing the
12:32 pm
effectiveness of a common over the counter decongestant found in cold medicine. >> the ingredient is found phenylephrine, it was approved in the 1970s. it comes in several forms including liquid, pills, and nasal sprays. the committee is focusing on the oral formula. joining us is nbc news medical contributor, dr. natalie azar. this drug has been on the market for decades, why is the fda reassessing it right now? >> i know, i know, it's kind of hard to believe that this has been on the shelves as long as kate and i can probably remember, as long as she and i have been on this earth, but, yeah, so it's shocking. i think the analogy here is that if we suddenly found out that tylenol was potentially not effective for pain or for fever reducing, we would all say how is this possible. and that's essentially what's happening here. so it been very clear, the fda is not raising any issue about the safety of this product but rather its effectiveness at
12:33 pm
doing what it is ostensibly supposed to be doing, and that is reducing congestion. and this has been an issue that has been brought to the fda since 2007. you know, the fda gets criticized for moving too quickly, but it also gets criticized for moving too slowly, but they are spending the next two days reviewing all of the updated analyses to determine if, in fact, it should remain over the counter. the other point i want to drive home is these decongestants are pretty controversial. it's not just an issue, it's not an issue of safety, rather, but it's an issue of whether or not they actually work better than placebo. studies don't really suggest they do, and also this issue about should people have this access to them over the counter when they could potentially be doing more harm than good in the
12:34 pm
long run. >> what happens if this committee votes to declare it ineffective as an oral decon decongestant? >> so it would go off the shelves. what would be used in place. there is a product called pseudoe fed rin. what are you going to do as an alternative? there are nasal steroids that are recommended. there are nasal antihistamines that are recommended, but you're going to see there's going to be a lot of downstream effectiveness from industry, and you can also imagine that groups that are represented by industry are having a big problem with this, and they're saying, hey, you know, hold up. the studies actually show that it is effective. it's going to be a little bit of a battleground. i think at the end of the day, kate, we're going to see this product if the fda makes this
12:35 pm
recommendation -- if this advisory committee makes this recommendation to the fda, the fda may very well pull the product from the shelves. >> okay, will you stick around for us for a second? we want to talk to you about another big health l story. we got breaking news on the fda has approved a new round of covid booster shots as cases rise across the u.s. >> hospital admissions are up more than 15%. deaths are also up more than 10%. let's bring back our nbc news medical contributor, dr. natalie azar. how soon could these boosters roll out, and who could get these shots right away? >> right. so tomorrow the cdc's advisory committee will be meeting to make exactly those recommendations, what everybody is eager to hear and that is who should be prioritized for these vaccines. i think the expectation is fairly straightforward that we're going to hear that individuals over the age of 65, people who are
12:36 pm
immunocompromised, people with comorbidities, pregnant women, those are the groups that really should be, you know, scheduling their vaccines. whether or not they will make a broader recommendation for the general public, people who have had their initial series, et cetera, we will see. once the cdc's director signs off on the vaccines, which could happen as early as tomorrow evening after the meeting ends, we could expect these shots to be available in the coming days. both pfizer and moderna have said that they have, you know, a supply that is ready to be deployed as soon as they get the green light. >> yeah, you know what? i'm going to be really frank about this. i was out for about ten days. i put it on social media. i had covid. i'm completely negative now. it was -- oh, great. picture of me with covid. it was really hard, dr. natalie. it was -- i mean, i had fever, chills, a sore throat, a cough, a headache, exhaustion, all the

people i've talked to in my life have had it, same thing. is this strain right now tougher than others? maybe it's because it's my first time. >> i saw that picture, kate, i'm so glad you're feeling better. you did not look like a happy camper. so far, we don't know what strain you had, presumably it's either the eg -- >> uh-oh. it looks like we just lost dr. azar. prime time because we are eager to hear and i'm sure we will hear a little more later. dr. natalie azar, thanks as always for all of your insights. we really appreciate it. >> we didn't get her back, did we? >> still frozen. >> oh, wait, wait, she's back. natalie, are you back? >> this is live tv, folks. >> yes. >> okay. start over your answer. just start your answer again. >> okay. good, good, good so all the data we have right now does not point to the predominant strains that we're seeing, the eg, the fl strains that we're seeing right
12:38 pm
now that they're causing more severe disease, but again, that's being measured in hospitalizations. it's not being measured in regular folks like you and i at home, and i agree, anecdotally the two people closest to me who just had it were really, really sick, and i think it's just a reminder to people, that yeah, if you're lucky you have a little sore throat and a little bit of a sniffle, and you don't develop long covid. if you're not so lucky, you're out of work, you know, children, et cetera, et cetera, it's really very disruptive, and we're hoping, of course, that you don't have any lingering symptoms or develop any new symptoms. the booster will prevent infection, that is not going to last forever. that's usually a three to six-month, you know, sort of benefit that you get. that other part of the immune system that protects us from severe disease and hospitalization, we believe is much more durable. kate, i'm sure you'll probably be getting an updated vaccine. but you don't need to get it for the next couple of months.
12:39 pm
you've developed a rot of antibodies. >> i would always encourage everyone to get fully vaccinated so you don't feel the worst and end up in the hospital. dr. natalie, thank you. appreciate it. get ready for ai to take over capitol hill. some of the biggest names in tech will meet with lawmakers this week if a closed door meeting. they're there to brainstorm what should be done to regulate the quickly evolving technology. on the invite list, elon musk, bill gates, mark zuckerberg and sam altman. nbc news capitol hill correspondent ali vitali is in washington for us. good to see you. st it's a who's who of tech. this summit was organized by chuck schumer. >> it will be one of the most difficult things we undertake. we must treat ai with the same level of seriousness as national security, as job creation, as our civil liberties. >> so ali, what exactly is
12:40 pm
wednesday's meeting supposed to accomplish? >> congress isn't known for getting ahead of the game. >> reporter: they feel like they missed the body on legislating around things like tiktok and instagram, all the social media platforms that we've now heard them talking about over the last few years. this is schumer's attempt to try to put lawmakers ahead of the curve on ai, especially as we've seen more coverage lately of things like chatgpt and the ways in which it could be integrated for good and for bad into everyday life. and so that's why we're going to have all 100 senators huddled behind closed doors with many of these big tech titans as they come to the hill on wednesday. it is a private session. that means that we're not going to see what these folks have to say. there are some senators that have concerns about that. it's difficult to legislate, let alone see what these folks are actually saying unless it's in public, but nevertheless, this is really the starting bell to if congress can legislate around ai and how. >> all right, ali vitali with

the latest on capitol hill, thank you so much. nearly 60 years later the assassination of john f. kennedy remains one of the most hotly debated events in u.s. history. a secret service agent who was a few steps away as the shots rang out in dallas is now speaking out and raising new questions about what happened that day. here's nbc news correspondent liz kreutz. >> reporter: 60 years after one of the most earth shattering days in modern american history when president john f. kennedy was assassinated in dallas in 1963. >> john f. kennedy died at approximately 1:00 central standard time. >> reporter: former secret service agent paul landis who was with the president that day is opening up for the first time about what he witnessed. for decades, the prevailing theory was that one bullet struck jfk and then hit texas governor john connolly who was sitting in front of him. it became known as the magic bullet theory, which explained
12:42 pm
how one shooter could have fired all the shots. the theory is based on this bullet being found on governor connally's gurney. now in a new book, landis says he knows how it got there. the 88-year-old tells "the new york times" he found that bullet lodged in the car seat behind where kennedy was killed. he says he took that bullet to the hospital and placed it on the president's gurney. it was a piece of evidence, he tells the times, and i didn't want it to disappear or get lost. so it was, paul, you've got to make a decision, and i grabbed it. but landis now says he thinks the bullet may have rolled from kennedy's gurney to connally's, meaning it may not have been the bullet that injured connally. >> how significant is this? >> i think this is a significant piece of new evidence to support the idea there was more than one gunman. >> reporter: clint hill who climbed on the back of the limo after kennedy was shot questions landis's story.
12:43 pm
>> why do you have doubts about his account? >> because if you check all the evidence, statements, things that happened, they don't line up. it doesn't make any sense to me that he's trying to put it on the president's gurney. >> but landis who was not available for an interview with nbc news tells "the times" he made mistakes in his initial reports. he says he's been afraid to share his true story until now. liz kreutz, nbc news. coming up, my exclusive coming up, my exclusive conversation with actor

i'm orlando and i'm living with hiv. i don't have to worry about daily hiv pills because i switched to every-other-month cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. now when i have people over, hiv pills aren't on my mind. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you're taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. it feels good to just live in the moment. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go.
